Puttu payasam

Ending this week on a sweet note!! I tried payasam with the leftover puttu. My mom makes vella puttu which I haven't yet tried. This time I tried making payasam with milk and sugar. I really liked it. H said he will not give 100% marks as a payasam probably around 80%. His opinion was this could be served as a very good dessert in parties rather than a payasam in a sadhya. Anyways heres the recipe of puttu payasam.

Ingredients:

Cooked puttu - 1 cup

Milk - 1 litre

Coconut - 2 tbsp

Ghee - 2 tbsp

Sugar - 1/2 cup

Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Cashewnuts / dry grapes - 2 tbsp

Method

Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed vessel.

Once the milk boils, simmer the gas stove and add the cooked puttu. Add the grated coconut and mix well. Keep stirring for 5 minutes.

Now add the sugar. Mix well and keep stirring. Continue this for another 10 minutes.

Add the cardamom powder finally and mix well. Switch off the stove.

In a kadai add the ghee. Once the ghee is hot, fry the cashewnuts and dry grapes until they turn brown. Pour this into the payasam.
